Free Omental Flap With Microsurgical Reconnection

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 49906

An operation that takes the omentum, the fatty apron of tissue hanging inside the abdomen, and moves it to another part of the body to cover or rebuild an area of missing or damaged tissue. Because the tissue is fully detached, its blood vessels are reconnected at the new site under a microscope. It is used when a well-supplied tissue covering is needed for a difficult wound or reconstruction.
